But multiple murder charges from a civilian jurisdiction is another matter entirely. Trying to fake charges for something like that could get civilians fired, sued, or even jailed... especially in a high profile case like this where congressional attention is already present. Right or wrong I don't think this is indictment is just an extension of the previous legal harassment. Even if the local yokels colluded with the army, the state eventually took over the investigation.
